MECHANICAL SAFETY
The safety selector lever is located on the left side of the receiver above the
trigger and must be manually rotated to the desired position by the shooter.
Remember, a firearm’s manual safety is a mechanical device which can
never replace safe firearm handling practices.
Never rely on any mechanical mechanism or safety device to prevent the
dangers of careless handling or pointing a firearm in an unsafe direction.
To put the manual safety in the “ON” (SAFE) position, the safety selector
lever must be rotated fully to the horizontal position (Fig. 7). The safety
selector lever will now point toward the “SAFE” stamping on the receiver. The
stamp is a training aid used only to show the direction of the “ON” (SAFE) position
and should not be used as an indicator that the manual safety is “ON” or “OFF.”
Rotating the safety selector lever fully to the vertical position will put the manual
safety in the “OFF” (FIRE) position (Fig. 8). The safety does not rotate to the “ON”
(SAFE) position if the firearm is not cocked.
